    Currently, 90% of RSS production occurs within Thailand. Therefore, it would be prudent for Rubbertech to begin their marketing efforts within Thailand. The company can infiltrate more of the total market share for the industry and increase their contribution margin by eliminating the added $1,000 cost attributed to transportation outside of Thailand(Eisenstein 2006). Since Rubbertech is a Thai company, targeting the Thailand first will be an easier transition from a relationship building perspective; they will not need to devote time or resources toward breaking cultural barriers, and can focus on promoting their value proposition.…

    In order to reduce lead times, Obermeyer can persuade retailers to place orders ahead of time by gathering sales at an earlier time of the year, allowing the company to satisfy these orders. Additionally, they can purchase greige fabric by Obersport ahead of time in order to decrease the lead times of acquiring fabrics during high demand. They can also look into manufacturing options closer to Hong Kong to reduce the lead time of production and preparation of raw materials. Additionally, since Obermeyer can’t predict future colors needed, they should look into dyeing basic colors early in the year and then dyeing fashion colors, such as patterns, late in the year, thereby decreasing lead times.…

    Researchers Louis P. Hagopian, Wayne w. Fisher and Steven Legacy ask the question is it necessary to begin with a dense schedule before fading to a lean schedule, or would treatment be as effective using a lean schedule at the start. In the study, they attempted to replicate the findings of Vollmer. Vollmer’s findings were using noncontingent reinforcement(NCR) to treat self-injury and used attention to maintaining the correct behaviors. The thought is that if NCR could be applied to self-harm maybe this method could be applied to other problem behaviors, by reinforcing other events.…

    Staffing and Scheduling

    • 856 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The debate on safe and adequate nurse staffing has remained a growing and controversial issue in healthcare. The most important issue is determining a safe number of nurses that should ideally work on a unit. In an article by The Journal of Nursing Administration it is stated that, “over the course of the last decade, hospital restructuring, spurred in part by a move to managed care payment structures and development of market competition among health care delivery organizations, led to aggressive cost cutting. Human resources, historically a major cost center for hospitals, and nurse staffing in particular, were often the focus of work redesign and workforce reduction efforts. Cuts in nursing staff led to heavier workloads, which heightened concern about the adequacy of staffing levels in hospitals” (JONA, 2000). Therefore the most important task is to calculate the number of nurses required for each unit. The following text describes the appropriate calculation necessary to determine the number of nurses on a hypothetical unit that has 50 beds and is a Medical-Surgical patient population with an average daily census of 45 patients.…
